Learn your baby's care needs
Understand your baby’s feeding routine, medications and any special care they may need. Our NICU staff will guide you on handling daily tasks and any medical equipment. Make sure to ask us questions!
Create a safe space at home
Prepare a calm and safe sleeping area for your baby. Check with your care team if you have questions about the equipment you’ll use at home.
Follow-up appointments
Plan follow-up appointments and connect with specialists. This helps monitor your baby's progress and address any future questions. Our nurses and providers can work together with your baby’s new care team, including your child’s primary care provider (PCP), to ensure
a smooth and safe transition.
Plan for emergencies
Be prepared in case of an emergency. Have a list of important phone numbers, such as your baby’s PCP and your local poison control center. Our Community Health Education Center (CHEC) offers an infant CPR and choking class
for new parents or anyone that wants to brush up on their knowledge and skills. Techniques taught in the class are based on the American Heart Association Family & Friends CPR guidance.
